Chili Cheese Hashbrowns

Ingredients

Frozen hashbrowns

1 pound

Olive oil

2 tablespoons

Salt

1/2 teaspoon

Black pepper

1/4 teaspoon

Chili (canned or homemade)

2 cups

Cheddar cheese, shredded

1 cup

Green onions, chopped

1/4 cup

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. On a baking sheet, spread the frozen hashbrowns in an even layer. Drizzle with olive oil and season generously with salt and black pepper. Toss gently to coat.
3. Bake the hashbrowns in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until they are crispy and golden brown.
4. While the hashbrowns are baking, heat the chili in a saucepan over medium heat until it's warmed through. If using homemade chili, consider adding spices like cumin or smoked paprika for an extra kick.
5. Once the hashbrowns are done, remove them from the oven and evenly top with the hot chili.
6. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the chili, ensuring an even distribution for maximum melty goodness.
7. Return the baking sheet to the oven and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
8. Garnish your chili cheese hashbrowns with freshly chopped green onions before serving for a pop of color and freshness.
